Costs the industry 2bn a year (that was in 2008) - it's a bigger problem than claims due to insured drivers.

People are playing the system, the system needs fixing. Unfortunately it's human nature to be greedy and if someone offers you cash on a plate, it's going to be taken.

Forget all the other ****** Mike, what car you buying now you had a money top up?

Nothing just yet, I need to see how my employment situation ends up first.

Costs the industry £2bn, but how much do they make as a whole? Hell of a lot more I bet.

No idea but I can be sure that they will be adding the cost to premiums.

Of course, but I bet it's a small number compared to industry profits as a total.

For something that every driver has to have, there should be some control over the companies imo

You may well not give a **** when the small increases in premiums come about, some of us bloody well do as were the ****'s funding it! a

No, the ****'s at the insurers probably wouldn't pass much, if any, saving on, but as long as this situation continues, the premiums will continue to rise so the situation - for mugs like me - will only get worse.

It pee's on my fire big time!

The thing is you're not going to change these type of leeching people or the system so it's not really worth getting a high blood pressure over. Just hold your head high and feel good that you're actually a contributer to society rather than a drain.

surely the bst way to keep our insurance prices down and reduce the compo culture is for people to pay a bit more attention when driving so reducing accidents in the first place.

also perhaps we should introduce excesses for when you hit another party. certainly be a incentive to drive carefully.

im unsure on my views to this. on one hand i feel that if you have been hurt by someone else then you should be compensated but on the other hand some people do take the mick.

Yes, because everyone who makes a personal injury claim is a clear drain on society. Because they are in the same league as dole bums, tax evaders, non-working immigrants, and those who claim benefits for people/children that aren't even in this country.

You're all so quick to blame those who are not at fault in an accident for making person injury claims, when your frustrations should be directed to those that cannot pay attention and keep their cars on the road without crashing into other people.

The problem is Mike, we all know your previous history of fabricating things to try and gain some kind of kudos on a web forum. Who knows what you are capable of doing for 4.5k.

Ever heard of the boy who cried wolf? Enjoy your whippy compo son.

Everyone makes mistakes, your whippy claim is "potentially" (I reserve judgement because I don't care) a deliberate fraudulent and dishonest act.

Judge the intentions not the actions.

For a prostitute murderer, thats quite a compliment. ta.

& Mike, don't bleat at what your reaping, you know damn well what your doing (in more ways than one )

Your like a "mate" of mine,he thinks litte of bursting into a bar shouting "Come & have a go if you think yer hard enough!" & then moans that he's had his head kicked in!
